You do need root for this to work

looks like only changes are multilingual support and desire compatibility enhancements
still best app there is

yeah small updates, i think i'll keep my current version since its not broken.

Hopefully they make a version to support Froyo. I know it's kinda redundent but I like the interface of wireless tether, and the fact that I can use internet on the phone while i'm tethered, on froyo it locks the phone out of using internet when wifi tether is on.

i still can't get the old wifi tether app to work with my evo. maybe i can get this new version to work

Im with u on this..

I am using this new wifi tether and surfing the net on the phone at the same time, dont seem to be having any problem with it. I am running Decks FROYO rom FROM ppcGEEKS.COM.

anyway to make this work if u dont have root? topic creator stated it wasnt necessary however when i installed and ran the program, it said i didnt have the required kernels and that i didnt have root.
oops nevermind.. i read the "do" as "dont" slow morning and havent had my coffee yet

[Q] Need Mobile AP for DK28...

I know that this does not work on DK28 currently, but if anyone could get this to work it would be very helpful. This is the only thing keeping me from going back to 2.2. I need it for one of my computers when im not home. Here is the link for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785719
The guy said he was gong to look into replacing the sprint mobile hotspot with this. If anyone could do this and possibly include it in there rom then I could go back to 2.2. I have seen a few post of people using 2.1 because they also don't have this for 2.2. I hope there is more interest and we can possibly get this done. I would try but I know nothing about how to do it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that is able to do this, or has interest in it.
FYI - I have gotten every wireless device in my house to see and use this app. (ps3, 3 laptops).

I'm on Mammon's Bonzai ROM and using the Sprint Hotspot app just fine. The only issue I'm having is that 4G drops when I get or make a call while using the hotspot.

assuming your paying for the feature as well. Ill take a stab and say he wants a free infrastructure hot spot, which I think as of right now is only possible on 2.1 odexed roms. The original porter of the i9000 ap said hell only port again on am official release. Cyanogen I believe also has it as a possibility, but its not yet working on our port. And the op of that thread says it won't be any time soon.

Also BTthomas is working on coding the mobile ap to work on 2.2 froyo deodexed roms and said he was making progress but is taking a break for the holidays, so we might see it soon maybe even b4 official froyo but have feeling that once the 2.2 source is out jr might make a new one and bt might have one faster for deodexed roms so ill give it a few months at least and we will probaly have it work on all roms

Mobile AP Thread Appears the app creator is working on it for us.

I doNt know about for the ps3 but I'm using wireless tether rc2 on froyo and it works great on my iPad and laptop. I had mobile ap before I updated and honestly wireless tether to me is just as fast. I haven't tried it on the ps3 though.

Wireless tether crawls in comparison, the loading of web pages on my computer is so slow with wireless tether, plus mobile ap doesn't get my phone hot even when charging, also when u connect multiple compters and devices to wireless tether it crawls more mobile ap I've connected 4 devices on 1x speed and 2 of them were streaming u tube in under a minute of loading, plus mobile ap is so much better looking and not an extra app u have to have its part of your settings and kicks ass plus it works superbly on 4g when wiress tether doesnt...

Cool thanks for all the info on this. Yes looking for a free alternative. I only need it about once a week for a few minutes. The Google cr-48 only does infrastructure mode. Kinda sucks but I need it when I'm out and there is no wifi. Haven't activated the Verizon 3g built in yet. Just want an alternative to it since I have the phone, but then again I probably wont go through the 100mb limit it comes with. I use the computer for school so I have to make sure I have internet in case I run out.

noob question about tether

Iv searched and searched but can't find anything specifically answering my question in layman terms.....ok here goes, before I had my phone rooted I paid 30 for one month for the sprint hotspot on my epic and used it on my ps3 to play call of duty and it worked perfect. Then a co worker told me about the rooting and free tethering so I had it done and the phone works fine, its a little faster and all that jazz but the tether feature only works on certain devices (ipod touch and 1 of my laptops) but will not work on my ps3 at all. My question is why and how can I fix it.....

I can't say I've tried this, but here's a thread with some knowledgeable input that might help you along:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834373

Ok I'm lost. It has 2 downloads for epic and neither zip from doing the 3finger start up and zip from sd

It is because it is an adhoc signal. Some devices won't connect or even see an adhoc signal I believe the ps3 is a device that won't cnnect to an adhoc signal. You might have to contact sony on the specs though.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

i understand the logic behind that but why does sprints stock "hotspot" work fine on ps3 but all "aftermarket" tethers do not

I've never used the sprint hotspot, but it probably transmits in infrastructure mode (like a wireless router), and not ad hoc mode (like wirelssly conncting two computers together without a router). The truth is, no ones been able to get infrastructure mode working on di18 (which is android 2.1, and you are probably running it if you didn't go to dk28, which is android 2.2).
Now, you could try going to dk28, but it can be buggy, and I don't think the wireless tether in infrastucture mode works perfectly either. So in otherwords, it might get complicated for you.
I have an xbox360, which also doesn't connect to ad hoc networks. So instead, I use a wired tether program, pdaNet (the free version). My setup is epic wired tethered to my laptop, then an ethernet cable to connect my laptop to my xbox. If you have a laptop that you can use for this setup, I highly recommend it. There's also probably less lag than with wireless tether since wireless has more latency than a usb cable.

If your Epic is running Eclair 2.1 and you're already rooted, then you're in business.
You need to flash the modified hotspot app that was ripped from the Vibrant (and modified for each of the Galaxy S series), and you're golden. After doing this, use the Sprint Hotspot app like usual with no need to pay the $30 fee, plus it's working in infrastructure mode (everything wifi friendly), not ad-hoc (some wifi friendly).

Had a similar issue trying to tether to my nook, luckily there are some pretty smart people over in that forum too and they figured out a way to swap over the nook to see ad hoc networks, makes me wonder if you trolled some ps3 forums and saw if some other people have found a solution to their systems not being ad hoc friendly, because if you ever decide to go to 2.2 that hacked hot spot option wont work

ok so i downloaded the signed-final-mobileap and flashed it and my "sprint hotpot" isnt there anymore and my wireless tether still doesnt work on the ps3.....i running 2.2.1 kernal version 2.6.32.9 build number sph-d700 viperrom frozen ext 4 rfs dk28 dual 4.0.3

If your going to go back to stock anyway (2.1, not 2.2), just root/cwm and flash the existing MobileAP for 2.1, as that will work without having to pay the extra $30/month. The trouble you were having is that the way the hotspot feature works got changed in 2.2, so the zip for 2.1 that you flashed wont work correctly.
If indeed you are going back to 2.1, this will only work on an odexed rom, in other words, a stock rom (custom kernel is fine) or possibly a custom rom after running the odexer tool in the dev section before you install/use MobileAP.

I really hate to get this way but the modded Mobile AP is ONLY FOR 2.1 Eclair NOT 2.2. It says so in the post. THAT'S WHY IT DID NOT WORK or FORCE CLOSED on you because you're running 2.2 Froyo!!

hopefully someone can get there hands on the APK and see if they can get it working on the Xoom

it's not going to happen.

yeah its not going to happen as this Netflix specifically works with Qualcomm snapdragon chipsets for its drm and probably decoding to. It has been cracked to get working on other snapdragon phones but no Tegra 2 device works with it. You'll just have to wait.

That apk that disabled the device check indeed does work on the tegra 2 chipset on my droid X2 so you would think it would be possible on the xoom as well some how. I tried that same apk on the xoom but get the error message that it isn't supported on this device. Has to be possible I'd think though.

My TF had a firmware update over the weekend and NetFlix does show up in the Market now and I was able to download it. However, it still wont stream the content. I am not sure why or what causes the Market to allow access to a Tegra2 device but it is there...

Here is a netflix apk that works just fine on my wifi Xoom, I think this one was orinigally a modded version for the Dell Streak 7 (Terga chipset) and it just happens to work on the Xoom as well. I tested it on a 3g tether, ( it was grainy but what do you expect at 250k?) and on high speed broadband where it performed really well.

But why would we need a modded version now that the official apk runs great on the Xoom? I downloaded the official version from the post here in the Xoom forum under Xoom Themes and Apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177955 and it works great. Hell I even installed it on my x10 and it works on that too.
By the way, I tested this apk on my xoom tethered to my x10 and was watching Speed Grapher with a crystal clear image. Pretty speedy load time too with no buffering.

help with wifes epic!

What I am looking for is stock rooted gigerbread rom that has working wifi tethering. my wife's phone hasn't been updated because I rooted her phone and she uses barnacle for free tethering. i read that barnacle doesn't work on gingerbread. also Would be sweet if I could odin it. Have tried in the past to put custom roms on wifes epic and have had varied degrees of success. I have an evo running synergy so i am familiar with rooting and changing roms there but seems to be easier with odin on epic. Thanks for all of your help.

CleanGB BML or Legendary would work great for you. They both can be found in Development subforum. Read through the threads for each to see which one you like better.

I've tried a bunch of different ones out and am in the same situation as you... it was rooted for the sole purpose of free tethering (and to remove the samsung bloatware).
The new cleanGB rom is the best i've used, not the fastest but everything works and has been perfectly stable. for tethering i use open garden wifi - this is no longer listed on my market but if you do a google search for it, you can install it directly from their website for free. that's the best/easiest/most stable tether program i've used.

Cleangb has wifi hotspot built in, and I thought it does usb tethering as well. No 3rd party app needed. Anytime an app is pulled from the market, you really have to wonder why, and be cautious DLing directly from their website.

+1 on the CLeanGB BML. I've had an issue or too fiddling with undervolting but other than that, it just works and looks nearly stock. I'm not a big tetherer but I seem to recall doing a USB tether a while back and Wireless Hotspot hack is built-in. It also included a few other "nice" hacks that I like. Alternatively, as was mentioned, the android wi-fi tether app worked well when I did use it.

The wireless hack works great, its been built into my roms for some time now. But occasionally I still have to use alternate tether apps, as things like my TouchPad can't see Sprint Hotspot for some dumb reason.

wow just came back on and saw all the responses. Thanks again but what i am looking for is a basic rooted gingerbread rom with touch wiz and sprint hotspot. any further help would be appreciated.
